  • Regional Odontodysplasia: Report of an Unusual Case Involving Mandibular Arch
    Regional odontodysplasia: Report of an unusual case involving mandibular arch N. S. Venkatesh Babu, R. Jha Smriti, D. Bang Pratima Abstract Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare developmental anomaly involving both mesodermal and ectodermal components in primary or permanent dentition. It affects the maxilla and the mandible or both; however, maxilla is more commonly involved. This article reports the case of 33-month-old boy who came with the chief complaint of delayed eruption of mandibular teeth. Findings of clinical and radiographic examination were consistent with those of RO. Maxillary dentition was unaffected. Clinical and radiographic features and treatment options are discussed. Keywords: Mandibular arch, primary teeth, regional odontodysplasia Introduction cases of mandibular involvement have been reported so far.[5,8,9] Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare developmental dental anomaly that involves ectoderm and mesoderm The teeth with RO often display a brownish or yellowish derived tissues.[1] It can affect either primary or permanent discoloration and most frequent clinical symptoms dentition.[2] This condition was first described by Hitchin accompanied by this anomaly are failure of eruption and in 1934.

Studies of affected families mayhelp to distinguish different types of DDand provide further insight into their etiology and clinical management.This report describes a family that showed characteristic dental features of DD1, including clinically normalcrowns in both primaryand permanentdentitions, and mobileteeth that maybe associated with prematureexfoliation. Radiographicfeatures included calcification of the pulp with crescent-shaped, radiolucent pulp remnants, short, tapering, taurodontic roots, and manyperiapical pathoses that maybe q¢sts or granulomas.A spectrumof dentin dysplasia wasnoted within the family.

  • Hereditary Disorders of Dentin: Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Type II
    CASE REPORT Hereditary Disorders of Dentin: Dentinogenesis Imperfecta Type II and Dentin Dysplasia Type II Sandhya Shanmugam1, Kuzhanchinathan Manigandan2, Angambakkam Rajasekaran PradeepKumar3 ABSTRACT Dentin is a mineralized tissue in tooth, produced from odontoblasts, that differentiates from the mesenchymal cells of dental papilla. Hereditary dentin defects are broadly classified into two types, namely, dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI – type I and II) and dentin dysplasia (DD – type I and II). DGI is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder, and DD is a rare hereditary disturbance of dentin formation that affects both the primary and the permanent dentition. The purpose of this report was to present a case of DGI–type II and a case of DD–type II to highlight the importance of diagnosing hereditary dentin disorders. Keywords: Dentin, Dentin discoloration, Dentin disorders, Dentin dysplasia, Dentinogensis imperfecta.

  • Orthodontic Movement of Teeth with Short Root Anomaly: Should It Be Avoided, Faced Or Ignored?
    original article Orthodontic movement of teeth with short root anomaly: Should it be avoided, faced or ignored? Jose Valladares Neto1, José Rino Neto2, João Batista de Paiva3 Introduction: Short Root Anomaly (SRA) is an uncommon disease and a challenge for orthodontic treatment as it tends to increase the risk of root resorption. Objective: Assess the current status of the diagnosis, etiology and orthodon- tic management of teeth with SRA, and present case reports. Method: A literature review was carried out in PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Results: A differential diagnosis of SRA should be conducted for teeth with incomplete root formation, external apical root resorption, dentin dysplasia type I and post dental trauma root hypoplasia. SRA is genetically determined and orthodontic movement requires changes in clinical and radiographic management in order to restrict damage. Conclusion: Orthodontic movement of teeth with SRA is contraindicated in extreme cases, only. Caution at all stages could minimize attachment loss and lead to long-term stability. Keywords: Tooth root. Tooth abnormalities. Root resorption. Orthodontics. Introdução: a anomalia de raiz curta (ARC) é uma patologia incomum e constitui um desafio para o tratamento ortodôn- tico, pois tende a elevar o risco de reabsorção radicular. Objetivo: revisar a literatura sobre o diagnóstico, a etiologia e a con- duta ortodôntica recomendada para esses casos, ilustrando esse tema com relatos de caso. Métodos: devido ao baixo nível de evidência sobre o tema, realizou-se a revisão narrativa da literatura com estratégia de busca nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs, Scopus e Web of Science.
